Stop jumping on the scale every day.
Don't weigh yourself at night.
Stay hydrated and don't weigh in after high sodium days and after alcohol consumption.
I'm 5'11 and in one week fluctuate between 160-167lbs at 46 years of age. If I have a bad water day and I eat a high sodium day, I have stepped on the scale, and it said 171. 2 days later after proper hydration and my normal everyday diet. I weighed 162
A good bowel movement, helps alot!
Extra workout or steps over the weekend.
All things lead to the end game of losing consistently and keeping consistency.
Stop going by what the scale says.
Does an old pair of jeans fit?
Does that favorite dress zip back up?
Did your friends and family make a comment on how great you have been looking?
Did you notice a difference in how you feel?
Use these as markers for success on your fitness journey.

I take pride in developing this environment and culture with my clients over the years.
So many clients have stuck with training longer because they have made deep friendships and have a community that they can depend on, rely on, and receive support and encouragement from.
No matter what part of your life, you need to have people that support your journey, your message, your passions.
We don't all have to agree on everything and enjoy the same things but surround yourself with people who support and respect you.
Period.

I say this to my clients all the time.
How do you expect to show up for everyone else if you don't take care of yourself?
You need sleep.
You need to be healthier.
You need to take care of you first.
Prioritize you!

Do you all have that one friend that says " I don't eat carbs."?
Hey, guess what you need complex carbs to process, digest and use the proteins and fats that you consume.
Breads and Pasta not so great in large doses.
It's ok to have "carbs"
Your body needs them, and so does your friend.
Eat Breakfast
Drink water
Eat Fruits, vegetables, and good carbs.

Weight should not be your goal.
Many people are shocked by my weight when I tell them. I weigh between 160-167 on any given day......
Yes, I fluctuate that much. I struggle with water intake like most of you. So, on days that I may eat something salty and then not consume enough water, I weigh 164.
On weeks where I miss the mark on my protein, my arms and legs tend to look less toned. If I focus on the good carbs ( starchy, fruit and vegetables) and my 100 grams of protein each day, things look tight and right.
Weight will fluctuate and should not be the source of showing progress.
* How you feel
* Energy Levels
* Clothing fits differently
* Medication is no longer needed
* Skin is looking younger
* Sleeping better
The picture above depicts same weight, but their bodies have taken on a different shape.
Stop comparing yourself to the person next to you at the gym or at work.
Dive head first into your own journey, not someone's else's.
Strong is the new skinny!

Does the warmer weather have you thinking healthier?
Does the warmer months ahead have you thinking of a summer body?
There shouldn't be a summer body. It should just be a healthy body.
Health and Fitness should not have a bulk phase and a cut phase. (Unless you are an athlete building muscle or a body builder getting ready for a show)
Staying leaner and building muscle should be an everyday lifestyle.
Try to eat as clean as you can every day. Drink 80-100oz of water a day to flush out days when you may eat more salts or sugars.
Healthyliving is a lifestyle.
You shouldn't have to worry about eating and drinking at a summer BBQ, a wedding, a party, or a work event.
If you eat as healthy as you can daily and weekly,when these events come up, you just go and enjoy yourself.

You can talk to friends about going to the gym and eating better.
You can hear about your co-workers' great workouts with their trainer and mention you need a trainer too.
You can get invited to your sister's favorite Tuesday night bootcamp.
But.....did you show up?
Did you change your eating habits?
Did you call your co-workers trainer?
You didn't become successful at your job by not showing up.
You didn't get good at golf by not practicing.
You didn't perfect your favorite meal without a few tries.
Talk about it, Be about it.
Be Consistent!

IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOW YOU KNOW!
Registered Dietitians vs Nutritionists:
Key Differences All registered dietitians (RD/RDN) are nutritionists, but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians. The exact difference is that Registered Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals with rigorous education, accreditation, and licensing, qualified to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for diseases.
In contrast, the term "nutritionist" is largely unregulated, meaning anyone can claim the title, ranging from someone with a PhD to someone with a weekend certification, generally focusing only on general wellness.
Key Differences and Usage Examples:
Credentialing and Education: RDs must complete an accredited master's degree, 1,200+ hours of supervised practice, and pass a national exam. Nutritionists may have no formal education or specific, non-clinical certifications (like Certified Nutrition Specialist - CNS).
Scope of Practice: RDs can treat medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease, eating disorders) using Medical Nutrition Therapy. Nutritionists generally provide general wellness tips, diet education, and lifestyle guidance.
